This word is based on two dreams that I had last year. Although I did receive interpretations for them at the time that I had them, the Holy Spirit has just brought them back to my remembrance over the last week or so and made a new connection between them, as well as an association with what we see happening now in the natural. And I believe they both to speak to what we will be seeing for the future of the Church.
Read More(This word has been heavy on my heart and there’s a lot to it, but I hope that you will read it all the way through because the Lord had a lot to say!)
First off, I felt the Holy Spirit say there are two groups of people right now who need this word:
Those who don’t know (or believe in) the Lord at all and are most likely completely unaware of the spiritual things that are going on right now.
Those who know the Lord and believe, but do not have the discernment of the Holy Spirit to see or understand what is going on spiritually.
One afternoon last fall, I had a particularly unnerving experience that I knew was not only a wake-up call for me, but also an important word for the Church. But, I have not felt released to share it until now.
At the time, I had been lamenting over the difficulties in my life and was feeling doubtful, sad and discouraged. I had gone to a park near the water to walk my dogs and after spending some time in the car first praying and journaling, I had gotten out and started walking down the path, when I realized that a group of vultures had flown in and were now sitting in the tops of the trees and on the roof of a building next to the water. Immediately, I felt an uneasiness in my spirit, but I tried to ignore it and continue on my walk. For a little while, they didn’t move. They just stayed perched there - seeming to watch my every move.

You've probably read Isaiah 61 a hundred times before (as have I), but I feel the Lord highlighting it in a whole new way at this moment. Particularly, for the "forerunners" - those who are being positioned as members of God's Army to go out into the world in this time and proclaim truth, call out mixture and show people the way to freedom. If that is you, I hope this encourages, strengthens and empowers you for this time! 💜🔥
Read MoreA couple weeks ago, I did a post on Instagram and Facebook about wisdom. But, since then, the Holy Spirit has continued to press the subject on my heart and continue to give me more revelation as it is very important right now for His Church to be walking in true wisdom and not a false version of it.
I also mentioned this briefly in the “open eyes” word earlier this week - in regard to how the enemy will always disguise evil as good and darkness as light. Which is exactly why we need to have discernment and WISDOM to be able to know what we should be doing!
Read MoreYou know how the Jewish people missed Jesus as the Messiah when He came because He wasn’t what they were expecting? They expected a grand and mighty king, not a humble carpenter. They expected things to look a certain way and go a certain way, so they missed it. They missed the manifestation of God’s promise, His beloved sacrifice and the way to their salvation. They missed it.
People miss things because they have an idea of what they think it’s going to look like. When you hear of evil or dark things, many people picture what they’ve seen in the movies... a devil with horns and a tail. Or at the very least, someone who LOOKS evil. They expect they would never fall for a deception or would know what to avoid, because they’ll be able to tell it’s evil by looking at it. But, that’s exactly the problem.
It’s not wolves in wolves’ clothing. It’s wolves in SHEEP’S clothing. The entire point is that evil will LOOK good. “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Cor 11:14) That is why we HAVE to have spiritual discernment and spiritual eyes to SEE the truth. Because it won’t look like what we expect! If we are expecting the “bad” to look bad, we will be deceived every time!
“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness. Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness.” (Luke 11:34-35)
Did you catch that? MAKE SURE THE LIGHT YOU THINK YOU HAVE IS NOT ACTUALLY DARKNESS.
God warns us of this because He knows it will be easy to fall for the darkness when it is disguised as light. In these times we are in and the ones we are coming into, this is exactly what we are and will be dealing with. Darkness disguised as light. Persecution and bondage disguised as “wisdom” and “doing good.” Of course, the enemy won’t just outright come up to you and tell you to stop going to church, laying hands on people, fellowshipping and praying. You’d say heck no! And go right about your business.
But, there’s a reason why he is referred to as the most cunning (sneaky, clever, crafty, subtle) of any creature in the field (Gen 3:1). Because he knows that, so he takes a different approach. He will actually make you think you are doing a GOOD thing, so you’ll go right along with him. He doesn’t even have to do anything but make a suggestion and you’ll willingly go right along with it! It’s quite literally the oldest trick in the book, since it’s the same thing he did with Eve in the Garden. He posed a thought to her - she considered it and thought IT LOOKED GOOD (Gen 3:6), so she went along with it. And it’s exactly what he’s doing now.
A few weeks ago, I released a prophetic word about the layers of the virus and shared how God had said “how quickly they fall” in reference to His own people believing the lies. But, I have still been shocked to see how blatant the tactics are becoming and how many people are succumbing to them.
It’s “safer” for church congregations not to meet and now apparently not to sing, yet it’s perfectly fine to be in a mass store like Walmart or a liquor store. And people believe these things because they have good hearts and they want to do what they think is right for the greater good. But, that is exactly what the enemy is banking on. He is literally stripping away liberties and strengths of the Church right in front of people, but many cannot see what’s really happening. And when people do speak up, they are attacked. Not just by the world, but by their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
A few years ago, I had gone down the road into “new age” stuff. I was into things like chakras, energy, clairvoyance and even was following this woman online who called herself a “medium.” And the entire time, I was convinced that it was all of God. I thought it was all one and the same. Maybe a few of the words felt a little weird to me, but I honestly thought I was on the right track. After all, everything was about love, peace, light, angels, even god. So, it had to be good! Or so I thought.
Unfortunately, it took a crazy, SCARY, up-close-and-personal experience with something demonic for me to wake up and realize I had been deceived. But, I actually thank God for it now because I have a testimony and an understanding of how easy it is to be deceived. The woman I was following referred to god all the time and while I don’t know if she was aware that she was involved with darkness or she was deceived as well, I was able to see after the fact just how cunning the enemy is. She WAS hearing from “angels” and she was able to receive messages from them. But, not all angels are angels of light and not all voices are from the Lord. Which again, is why we HAVE to have spiritual discernment.
We HAVE to put on the spiritual armor of God every single day, not just to feel good about ourselves and be “good Christians.” Because it is literally what will keep us in line with the Lord and out of the clutches of the enemy. Especially in the last days. Which like it or not, we are in.
I pray that as we move forward, the Body of Christ will OPEN THEIR EYES. God is shaking everything right now and only those things which are built on a SOLID foundation in Christ will be left standing. It’s time for wide open eyes, for boldness, for courage and for REVIVAL.
It’s time for the Church to WAKE UP and come out of their slumber. Be alert, be sober-minded. Come out from the world and do not back down.
Daniel didn’t stop praying.
The three Hebrew boys didn’t bow down.
Peter and John didn’t stop preaching.
Wisdom does NOT come from man. Wisdom comes from God alone. And the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Prov. 9:10).
Fear the Lord, not man.
Follow Him, not man.
Ask for wisdom. Pray for knowledge. Lay down your expectations and understanding. And walk with OPEN EYES.
I didn’t want to write this post or even plan to do so.
I have heard MORE than enough of the word “coronavirus,” between the television, radio and literally every single email in my inbox. And I honestly didn’t want to partake in the hysteria around it.
But, after having a conversation with my friend about it the other day, I knew I needed to transcribe everything I have felt the Holy Spirit saying to me prophetically about it. And as I continue to see emails coming through from churches and ministries that are stopping their gatherings and cancelling their activities, I feel the urgency even more.
Read MoreFor the PIONEERS, the FORERUNNERS and the WAYMAKERS... those who are going ahead and helping others find the way... you've been through the wilderness, you've passed through the transition, you've reconsecrated yourself at the "Jordan" and you're about to possess your territory in the "Promised Land"!
The Lord spoke this encouraging/clarifying word to me about this through the story of Jericho and I hope it helps you to understand what is going on right now and brings you peace and excitement!
Read MoreA few days ago, the Lord said “Potiphar’s wife” to me while I was praying. I also felt like I heard the word “lynchpin.” Since I knew Potiphar was the Egyptian official who bought Joseph as a slave and his wife was the one who wrongfully accused him of attacking her, I looked up the story to see what it was that God wanted to highlight.
Read MoreStay the course. There are battles being fought here that you know nothing about. They are encompassing all spheres of the earth and works of man. They are greater than anything you can imagine. And your part in them is vital. You may not feel like you’re doing anything, but you are. Your strength comes from Me. Your power comes from Me. It is Me at work within you that carries you forward.
Read MoreA few nights ago, I had a prophetic dream and woke up with the lyrics to the Beatles song, “We Can Work it Out,” playing in my mind.
“Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.”
Read MoreThis morning, I asked God what was on His heart and I love what He had to say.
“My children,” He said.
When I asked, “What about your children?”
He elaborated... “Freedom. I want them to be free.”
Read MoreThis morning, God woke me up early with this vision in my mind. When I asked Him what it meant, He said, “I’m going to be delivering people’s promises in record time.”
